DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind Seminar presents: 'The Role 
 of Cerebrovascular Pathology in Aging and Neurodegenerative Disease Popula
 tions'.\n\nRegistration available here.\n\nSpeaker: Mahsa Dadar\n\nAssista
 nt Professor\, Department of Psychiatry\, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ\, Canada\n\nAb
 stract: Late-life cognitive impairment and dementia are heterogeneous and 
 multifactorial conditions driven by a combination of genetic\, vascular\, 
 and lifestyle-related factors. More than 75% of patients with dementia hav
 e evidence of cerebrovascular pathology at autopsy. Cerebrovascular diseas
 e lesions can be detected on structural MRI and used as biomarkers to dete
 rmine the extent of cerebrovascular pathology. These biomarkers are associ
 ated with cognitive difficulties and increase the risk of dementia for the
  same level of neurodegenerative pathology. Given that some of the risk fa
 ctors for cerebrovascular disease are potentially modifiable\, identifying
  the role of cerebrovascular pathology in aging and neurodegenerative dise
 ase populations opens a window for prevention of cognitive decline and dem
 entia.\n\nBio: Mahsa Dadar\, PhD\, is currently an assistant professor at 
 the Douglas center\, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ. She received her Bachelor's and Ma
 ster’s Degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tehran and
  Concordia University\, and her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ 
 University. She did a postdoctoral fellowship with the International Progr
 essive MS Alliance (IPMSA) team at 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ\, followed by a joint postdoctor
 al fellowship between the CERVO Brain Research Centre in Quebec and the Un
 iversity of Alberta in Edmonton\, Canada. Her work is focused on using MR 
 image processing and machine learning techniques for studying the human br
 ain with the aim of quantifying and investigating the pathological changes
  in aging populations\n\n\nThe Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Semina
 r Series will advance the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Form
 er Director of the Neuro (1972–1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical a
 nd research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and disco
 veries in neuropsychology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\n
 Speakers will include scientists from across The Neuro\, as well as collea
 gues and collaborators locally and from around the world. The series is in
 tended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue 
 to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and tr
 eatment of brain and cognitive disorders.\n
